Canyons Camp: 25 Years of Watershed Protection

Join us for an evening discussing the unique history of the Cottonwood Canyons’ watersheds.

 

We will discuss how the canyons played a role in US environmental protection history and the unique responsibility of the Cottonwood Canyons Foundation in furthering that protection.

Learn more about glaciers, Indigenous Peoples, environmental pioneers, and immigrants scratching out an existence in high alpine homesteads where over 40 feet of snow fell each winter.

 

The event starts at 6pm and will take place at Last Chance Lodge, Solitude Mountain Resort.
